So I recently built a fermentation chamber out of a mini-fridge and I have noticed I have some semi-serious condensation issues coming from the freezer portion of my fridge. During the fridges normal cycling on and off, the metal freezer component (what the two fans are resting on) frosts and defrosts causing water to drip down into the pan in the picture. Every few days I have to dump the water out so that is doesn't run over and begi to mold in any cracks.
I was wondering if anybody has had similar problems or any advice on how I can correct this problem? Is the condensation from the freezer just something I have to accept? Or is there something I can do to address it? Would it be due to poor sealing of the chamber (the door has a curve on it that could be letting warm air in)? Can I remove that metal freezer partition or is that a required element to help cool the fridge? Would increased air flow help?
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
